Curious Accident to British Battleship Guns at Milford Haven
Off Milford Haven Wales a curious accident struck a British battleship during a ten inch breechloading gun exercise. A fired shot left part of the projectile in the gun and gas pressure expelled more of it on the first discharge. On a second gun a three inch hole appeared in the projectile. The base plates separated and alarms spread through the turret as crew feared a burst. Investigations consider damp powder or water in the guns as possible causes.
